[Dev-C++] size of executable files

[gpuime <gp...@pa...>]

Executable files get bigger and bigger with new versions of Dev-C++.
I'ts not the first time I notice it, but now the size seems to me 
enormous for such a small program ( which only includes <iostream>):
For only 73KB with Dev-C++.v.4 I get 575KB with Dev-C++.v.4.9.9.4 
reduced to 261 after stripping and without debugging information,
but still 261KB is 3.6 times 73 !
Does anyone know the cause of this?
